Ezekiel 26
1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Pa chaka cha khumi ndi chimodzi, tsiku loyamba la mwezi, Yehova anandiyankhula kuti:
2 Son of man, because that Tyrus has said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken that was the gates of the people: she is turned to me: I shall be replenished, now she is laid waste:
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, anthu a ku Turo ananyogodola Yerusalemu kuti ‘Hii! Uja amene anali chipata choloweramo anthu a mitundu ina wawonongeka. Zitseko zake zatsekukira ife. Tidzalemera popeza wasanduka bwinja.’
3 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against you, O Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against you, as the sea causes his waves to come up.
Nʼchifukwa chake, Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Ndidzakulangani, inu anthu a ku Turo. Ndidzakuyitanirani anthu a mitundu ina kuti adzakulangeni monga momwe mafunde amawombera pa Nyanja.
4 And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock.
Anthuwo adzawononga makoma a Turo ndi kugwetsa nsanja zake. Ndidzapala dothi lake ndipo ndidzamusandutsa thanthwe losalala.
5 It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the middle of the sea: for I have spoken it, says the Lord GOD: and it shall become a spoil to the nations.
Udzakhala poyanikapo makoka pakati pa nyanja. Ine Ambuye Yehova ndayankhula zimenezo. Udzasanduka chofunkha cha anthu a mitundu ina.
6 And her daughters which are in the field shall be slain by the sword; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Anthu okhala ku mtunda adzasakazidwa ndi lupanga. Pamenepo adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.
7 For thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring on Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people.
“Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Iwe Turo, ndidzakubweretsera Nebukadinezara, mfumu ya ku Babuloni mfumu ya mafumu, kuchokera kumpoto pamodzi ndi akavalo ndiponso magaleta, anthu okwera pa akavalo ndi gulu lalikulu la ankhondo.
8 He shall slay with the sword your daughters in the field: and he shall make a fort against you, and cast a mount against you, and lift up the buckler against you.
Anthu okhala ku mtunda adzawapha ndi lupanga. Adzapanga mitumbira yankhondo ndi kukukwezera zishango kuti alimbane nawe.
9 And he shall set engines of war against your walls, and with his axes he shall break down your towers.
Adzagwetsa makoma ako ndi zida zogumulira khoma ndi kugwetsa nsanja zako ndi nkhwangwa zake.
10 By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover you: your walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into your gates, as men enter into a city wherein is made a breach.
Akavalo ake adzakhala ochuluka kwambiri kotero kuti adzakukwirira ndi fumbi lawo. Makoma ako adzagwedezeka ndi mdidi wa akavalo, ngolo ndi magaleta pamene iye adzalowa pa zipata monga mmene amalowera mu mzinda umene makoma ake agwetsedwa.
11 With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all your streets: he shall slay your people by the sword, and your strong garrisons shall go down to the ground.
Akavalo ake adzapondaponda mʼmisewu yako yonse ndi ziboda zawo. Adzapha anthu ako ndi lupanga. Mizati yako yolimba idzagwetsedwa.
12 And they shall make a spoil of your riches, and make a prey of your merchandise: and they shall break down your walls, and destroy your pleasant houses: and they shall lay your stones and your timber and your dust in the middle of the water.
Iwo adzafunkha chuma chako ndipo adzalanda zinthu zako za malonda. Adzagwetsa makoma ako ndi kuwononga nyumba zako zabwino. Adzaponya miyala yako, matabwa ako ndi dothi lako mʼnyanja.
13 And I will cause the noise of your songs to cease; and the sound of your harps shall be no more heard.
Choncho ndidzathetsa phokoso la nyimbo zanu, ndipo kulira kwa apangwe ako sikudzamvekanso.
14 And I will make you like the top of a rock: you shall be a place to spread nets on; you shall be built no more: for I the LORD have spoken it, says the Lord GOD.
Ndidzakusandutsa thanthwe losalala, ndipo udzakhala malo woyanikapo makoka a nsomba. Sudzamangidwanso, pakuti Ine Yehova ndayankhula, akutero Ambuye Yehova.
15 Thus says the Lord GOD to Tyrus; Shall not the isles shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is made in the middle of you?
“Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikukuwuza, iwe mzinda wa Turo, kuti zilumba zidzagwedezeka pakumva za kugwa kwako ndiponso poona anthu opweteka akubuwula ndipo anthu akuphedwa pakati pako.
16 Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit on the ground, and shall tremble at every moment, and be astonished at you.
Pamenepo mafumu a mʼmbali mwa nyanja adzatsika pa mipando yawo yaufumu. Adzayika pambali mikanjo yawo ndi kuvala zovala zawo zamakaka. Adzachita mantha ndipo adzakhala pansi akunjenjemera kosalekeza. Adzathedwa nzeru poona zimene zakugwera.
17 And they shall take up a lamentation for you, and say to you, How are you destroyed, that were inhabited of seafaring men, the renowned city, which were strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, which cause their terror to be on all that haunt it!
Pamenepo adzayimba nyimbo yokudandaula ndipo adzati kwa iwe: “‘Nʼkuchita kuwonongeka chotere, iwe mzinda wotchuka, wodzaza ndi anthu a ku nyanja! Unali wamphamvu pa nyanja, iwe ndi nzika zako; unkaopseza anthu onse amene ankakhala kumeneko.
18 Now shall the isles tremble in the day of your fall; yes, the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at your departure.
Tsopano mayiko a mʼmbali mwa nyanja akunjenjemera chifukwa cha kugwa kwako; okhala pa zilumba nawonso agwidwa ndi mantha aakulu chifukwa cha kugwa kwako.’
19 For thus says the Lord GOD; When I shall make you a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep on you, and great waters shall cover you;
“Mawu a Ine Ambuye Yehova ndi awa: Ndidzakusandutsa bwinja, ngati mizinda imene anthu sangathe kukhalamo. Ndidzakuphimba ndi madzi ozama a mʼnyanja, madzi amphamvu woti akumize.
20 When I shall bring you down with them that descend into the pit, with the people of old time, and shall set you in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that you be not inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the living;
Ndidzakugwetsa pansi kuti ukhale pamodzi ndi anthu amvulazakale amene akutsikira ku manda. Ine ndidzakusunga ku dzenjeko ngati ku bwinja losiyidwa kalekale, pamodzi ndi anthu amene anafa kale motero sudzabwererako kukhala pakati pa anthu amoyo.
21 I will make you a terror, and you shall be no more: though you be sought for, yet shall you never be found again, says the Lord GOD.
Ine ndidzakuthetsa mochititsa mantha, ndipo sudzakhalaponso. Anthu adzakufunafuna, koma sudzapezekanso, akutero Ambuye Yehova.”
